Come visit your CA cousins when you drive the CA Pacific Hwy. We would love to see you 😊

I love your bucket list.. I always tell people bucket list should have big and small things on it because sometimes the small things are the ones we enjoy the most. so many people just have one big thing on the list and they never even do that but if you have small things and you do them you are more likely to get to doing the big ones and never stop adding to your list.. I love love love it..
